A Man of Many Wives.

NEW YORK, June 14.-A prisoner was in the Jefferson Market police court prison last night who had given the name of Frank Cook. His alleged offense was larceny of 8 tricycle. in Newark, N. J. This morning Mrs. Jane Hannibel, of Brooklyn, appeared at court and asked for Doctor Frank Vernon Cook.

Dr. Cook is 8 native of Augusta, Maine, and his younger days were passed in Bridgton, Me. In 1885 he welded Laura A. Watson at Everett, Mass, her brother Thomas A.

Since then he is said to have also married third wife in Nal den, Mass, and to have been in some way implicated in the suicide of two girls in dis reputable house in Boston.

Selectmen Examine Them and Find
 Everything in Good Order-Horatio
 HI. Lane. the Walking Delegate, Re
 fuses to Support His Children-The
 Infants to be Turned Over to the state
 as Abandoned Children.
 At the meeting of selectmen last evening Selectman Feldman reported that he and Selectman Brown had visited the baby farms of Mary Freeman at 35 West street and Alice Foster of Jewell street and found six children in each place. They were clean, well dressed, and the premises were in good order.
 Town Clerk Hugo was instructed to copy the East Haven land records.
 Town Agent Reynolds reported that the town had accepted the proposition of the Consolidated road in regard to the bridges to be built on Prospect, Grove and Center streets over the Shore Line road The cost to the town would be about S4, 800 and to the railroad company s7.500.
 H. il. Lane appeared before the board in reference to his children, who are in the County home at the expense of the town.
 Seleetman Reynolds explained the many promises Lane had made and which he had never kept. Lane admitted that he was care less in the matter, but his circumstances were such that he could not pay their board. He stated that he was a carver by trade and was working in the West Haven piano shop and made from $S to $15 per week. He did not work steady, but this was his own fault.
 Selectman Reynolds said that he did not wish to separate families and especially chill dren from their parents, but that on the other hand he always labored to keep families united and the children with their parents. But in the case of Lane he seemed to be per fectly indifferent to the support of his chil- dren and his indifference was such that the selectmen could not help but endeavor to make Lane do something for them. If he would not the town would see that someone did. Selectman Beecher asked Lane several questions as to his wages and if he could not pay the town two dollars @ week for their board. Lane would not admit that he earn ed enough to do anything for them. He had all he could do to support himself. He seemed very indifferent about the matter and would not even promise to pay anything in a weeks time. It was unanimously voted to turn the children over to the State as aban- doned children.
 Joseph Morse reported the case of James Reilly, who few years ago deeded his prop erty over to his four children, amounting to $20, 1000, reserving $500 for himself to go into business. His money was all gone and his children would not do anything for his sup port. The matter was referred to the out side poor committee with power to act in the matter.
 The following bills were approved: Outside poor account, $459; construction, $30 50; roads and bridges, $126; new alnshouse, s440.25; old farm, $41; Springside farm, S1S9 5O

The Prince of Wales, who gave the signal for the yachts to start, was to have been present at dinner of royalties this evening. He intended to land at Har- wich at 5:30 o'clock and proceed to London on special train. The port of Harwich was enveloped in dense fog, however, so that the Prince returned to London by way of Gravesend, having left the Norman Castle, the vessel carrying him, at Mouse Light. The Norman Castle has not yet returned. A gentleman who was board Sir Richard Paget's yacht, the Violet, states that the Mabel was leading at o'clock this afternoon and the Gwendolin, Genesta and Dauntlsss were abreast

RAPID TRANSIT.
The Time Between Newport and Ne'

The Time Between Newport and New
 York to be Shortened.
 NEWPORT, R. l., June 14.-The bill in the Rhode Island legislature for an act to incor- porate the Newport and New York Rapid Transit company, which passed the Senate in May, was concurred in by the House o-day and an absolute charter for that company is granted to Daniel Watson, Joseph P. Cotton, Jose Boynton, Rowland N Hazard, Hugh T. Dickey, William Argyle Watson, Henry Bull, Henry H. Audley, Edmund w. Davis and their associates The company proposes to shorten the time of travel between New York and Newport by about an hour. The scheme was originated by Daniel Watson, a promi- nent real estate broker in this city. His idea is to cut canal across Conanicut Island, through which steamer will run from New port making landing on the main land, thence to connect by new branch road with the Shore Line The advantage of this new line will be to obviats the necessity of a steamer from. Newport going more than six miles up the bay to round Conanicut Island, thus saving twelve or fifteen miles.

The Immigrants Can Land.

NEW YORK, June 14.-Judge Brown in the United States District court today de- cided that the action of the emigration com missioners in refusing the seventy-one' 'immi- grants by the City of Chester to land was illegal The detention of the immigrants was solely on the ground that their fares had been paid by the British government, while the reasons given by statute for preventing the landing of paupers are ''1ncapacity, idiocy or lunacy."
